The French government’s plan to consolidate three major social welfare programs – RSA (income support), APL (housing assistance), and the activity bonus – into a single system is facing significant delays. Originally slated for implementation this summer, the project is encountering obstacles and is not progressing as planned. The proposed merger aims to simplify the system and potentially reduce administrative costs, but details and execution are proving challenging. Sources indicate the legislation is struggling to gain traction, suggesting potential revisions or a postponement of the timeline. The government remains committed to the reform, but the current situation casts doubt on its swift realization. This delay impacts millions of French citizens who rely on these social safety nets.
